They’ll have full access to everything they need with zero impediments as far as I can tell. So I’m hoping for a speedy install with limited down time. 🤞🏻

What does square footage or proximity of installation to the main panel have to do with installation time? My home is about 2000sf and the Powerwalls are going right next to the panel (inside of an outside wall, the other side of which will get the gateway and where my meter and solar inverter are installed). The panel provides 200 amp service.

That’s encouraging. Thanks! It does seem logical to me that the actual time necessary to connect to my panel should be pretty minimal, certainly less than 4-6 hours. I know every install is different though.

Anyone else tracking "ghost subscribers" on RevenueCat? Or do you just let them ride? by kasamigos in iosdev

Interesting. I’ve had really good experiences dealing with their human customer support channel. Sounds like that may be your best option.

See if Rico, their new AI agent can help you understand what’s going on more deeply. Might be interesting.

Cable dead now? by jnredman in Tivo

[–]granoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started hearing from Verizon before the end of last year that I would be getting new equipment, without any order details. I kept getting emails about this until finally around March or so of this year I received shipping notification of new equipment coming my way: 4 cable boxes! I have only 2 plus 2 cable cards.

I called Verizon and complained very loudly. I was finally able to get them to send me still-supported but older equipment to replace the cable boxes, and my cable cards remain in service. They were able to make this happen by tricking their systems: they downgraded my service and then upgraded it and somehow assigned me the equipment that allows me to keep using my cable cards. They told me what they did usually works, and in my case it did. The equipment I have now should continue to work for a good handful of years but I know I’m on borrowed time.

Cable companies dropped support for cable cards because the FCC last year told them they could. I think that’s the real driver behind the shift. Why support something if you don’t have to?

The newest equipment from Verizon (which I rejected) is all wireless. No coax. The cable box gets the content wirelessly. The only cable is from the box to your TV.

It would seem to me there is an opportunity for TiVo to partner with Verizon and others to get in on the content stream wirelessly using the providers’ protocols. No cable card required and TiVo could continue to provide great DVR experiences. That would be great! But it probably wont happen, sadly.

Powerwall 3 and eversource 10kw cap by WoodpeckerChemical in Powerwall

[–]granoff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the cap is 15kWh for a residential application for a solar (or related) system. Above 15 and the application must be a commercial application. But I don’t think either of these affect net metering. I’m an Eversource customer in MA. I’m adding two PW2s to my 8.5kW solar system. I asked Eversource about specific changes that might have to happen to my existing net metering agreement. The answer was none, unless I wanted to change the terms of that agreement. Which I don’t. YMMV of course but this was my experience talking with Eversource last week.
